*Nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Paperback Original*
*Longlished for CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger*
Darren Keefe is in the boot of a car. The gag, the cable ties, the bullet hole in his knee - everything points towards a shallow grave. His story, now unrolling beneath him, starts with a boy wrestling his brother in a suburban backyard - all the fury in his small body poured into the rules of a made-up game. A kid with a pure talent that makes him a sporting star. A young man gorging himself on fame, seasoned with all the usual spices. A bloke who gets away with things, and just keeps getting. Until now...
